allyson + matt | an elegant spring wedding at the assembly room
/It was a beautiful spring day for Allyson and Matt’s wedding at the Assembly Room in downtown Baltimore — the sun was shining, there was a slight breeze along the water for their first look and most importantly, all of their families and friends were overflowing with love and joy as they watched these cuties officially become husband and wife!
6 UNIQUE DETAILS FROM A+M’S ELEGANT, INDUSTRIAL WEDDING AT THE ASSEMBLY ROOM
Allyson’s classic plunging v-neck ballgown had pockets (!!!) and the most gorgeous train and lace back detail
Matt’s reaction to seeing Allyson for the first time… he just kept saying “wow…” it was the actual sweetest.
During their ceremony, Allyson’s bridesmaid read a poem that was personalized for them and so incredibly cute!
They used Allyson’s parents wedding cake topper for theirs - it was perfect.
The most dramatic and fun light pouring through the Assembly Room skylights during their portraits.
Allyson’s aunts and uncles had a blast on the dance floor and you can easily tell who came to party!
The view from and vibe in their getting ready suites at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront was amazing; so calm, confident and ready to do this wedding thing! Allyson’s dress and Matt’s tux were so classically elegant — I could not get enough of those dress pockets!!!
When it came time for their first look on the promenade, the sun was shining, their families were cheering them on and Allyson’s veil couldn’t wait for it’s time to shine. Having an intimate wedding party of 2 on each side meant we could get creative with portraits by the water and stay ahead of schedule all day long… not to mention, having fun while taking them!
Congratulations, Allyson & Matt!! We were incredibly honored to be a part of your wedding memories and hope you continue dancing in the streets for decades to come! Thanks for being so willing to trust us and go along with all our crazy ideas, you two (and your families) are truly the best!

sneak peeks | steve + joe's baltimore wedding at the assembly room
/To say it was an honor to be a part of Stephen + Joe’s wedding is an understatement. It’s hard for me to put into words how much love and connection was palpable between these two and their family, friends and guests!
The day started with Joe getting ready at their home in Bolton Hill (where their #urbanrowpup Luther stayed close to him the entire time!) and Steve getting ready at Hotel Indigo, downtown. As the trolley rolled up to Hotel Indigo, Steve and Joe saw each other in their custom tuxedos for the first time and joined their wedding party for a fun and lively trolley ride down to Fells Point for portraits and back to Mt. Vernon park for the ceremony.
In front of 250 friends and family, there were heartfelt stories of love, connection and memories shared. Vows started with “I’m going to try not to ugly cry...” and ended with stories of spontaneous decisions early in their relationship that are an invaluable part of their story to this day.
My favorite part of the day was when the ceremony was over and the entire wedding party and their guests walked Steve and Joe down to the Assembly Room, along the sidewalks and through the streets of Baltimore… it was such a sight to see so many people gathered together to share in and support their wedding!
We couldn’t be happier for you, Steve and Joe! Your marriage and the strong connection you two share is something so many hope for. Here’s to dancing in the streets together for years to come...

Naomi
